I think they should be same. domU doesn't have MP table and ACPI, 
and thus it then depends on information of interrupt line within PCI 
configuration space. You can see that pciback provides config field 
virtualization for interrupt line by returning dev->irq from dom0. 
Inconsistent irq number between dom0 and domU will confuse Xen 
when translating from vector into irq number.

Thanks,
